Question 1

Q: What do I need to bring to my first Jujitsu class?

Accepted Answer

A: At Iron Monkey Grappling Club, we want to ensure your first Jujitsu class is a positive and smooth experience. Here’s a list of essentials to bring with you:

1. Comfortable Clothing: Wear athletic wear such as a t-shirt and sweatpants or shorts. Avoid clothing with zippers or snaps as these could cause injuries during training.

2. Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is crucial during any physical activity. Bring a water bottle to keep yourself hydrated throughout the class.

3. Flip-Flops or Sandals: Jujitsu is usually practiced barefoot on mats, but it's good practice to wear flip-flops or sandals when off the mat to keep your feet clean.

4. Personal Hygiene Items: A small towel and deodorant can help you stay fresh. Please trim your fingers and toenails to prevent accidental scratches.

Don't worry if you don't have all the gear yet. As you continue, our team will guide you on recommended equipment and attire. We can't wait to see you on the mat!
